If a TSM system exceeds the terms of its license agreement, one of the
following occurs:
- The server issues a warning message indicating that it is not in
compliance with the licensing terms.
- Operations fail because the server is not licensed for specific
features.
For details, see License Compliance. In either case, you must contact your TSM account
representative or authorized reseller to modify your agreement.
The Tivoli Storage Manager feature includes the following support:
- An unlimited number of administrative clients.
- Enterprise Administration, which includes: command routing,
enterprise configuration, and enterprise logging (server-to-server).
- Server-to-server Virtual Volume capabilities (does not include database
and storage pool backup).
- Network Enabler (network connections for clients).
You must register a new license if you want to add support for any of the
following that are not already in your existing license agreement:
- Managed System for LAN. This is required for each managed system
(client) that moves data to and from storage over a local area network
(LAN).
Note: | A managed system that moves data to and from storage, both on a LAN and on a
storage area network (SAN), requires only the Managed System for SAN
feature.
|
- Managed System for SAN. This is required for each managed system
(client) that moves data to and from storage over a storage area
network.
- AFS/DFS Support, (the S/390 platform includes the S/390 UNIX client as
part of Managed System for LAN).
- Tivoli Space Manager (HSM client), also known as space-managed
clients.
- Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM), includes server-to-server virtual
volumes for database and storage pool backup.
- Managed Library support. This license is required for each library
in the Extended Device Category that is managed by a TSM server. For
current information on supported devices, visit the TSM page on the World Wide
Web at
http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html
.
- Tape Library Sharing. This feature is required on a TSM server that
accesses a shared library, including the library manager. You only need
the managed library license on the library manager.
- Tivoli Data Protection for ESS.
- Tivoli Data Protection for ESS R/3.
- Tivoli Data Protection for EMC Symmetrix.
- Tivoli Data Protection for EMC Symmetrix R/3.
- Tivoli Data Protection for Informix.
- Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus Notes.
- Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus Domino.
- Tivoli Data Protection for MS SQL Server.
- Tivoli Data Protection for MS Exchange.
- Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle.
- Tivoli Data Protection for R/3.
The enrollment certificate files for all TSM licenses are on the TSM
installation CD-ROM. You register those licenses you want by issuing
the REGISTER LICENSE command with the name of the enrollment certificate
file. When registered, the licenses are stored in a NODELOCK file in
the current directory.
If license terms change (for example, a new license is specified for the
server), the server conducts an audit to determine if the current server
configuration conforms to the license terms.
The server also periodically audits compliance with the license
terms. The results of this audit are used to check and enforce license
terms. If 30 days have elapsed since the previous license audit, the
administrator cannot cancel the audit.
If the server uses a licensed feature but the license is not registered,
TSM issues a warning message.
You can obtain licenses for licensed features and register those licenses
by specifying the following files in the REGISTER LICENSE command.
Note: | TSM also requires one Managed System for LAN or Managed System for SAN
license for each of the following licenses:
- Tivoli Space Manager. TSM requires only one Managed System for LAN
license if an HSM client and backup-archive client are on the same system with
the same node ID.
- Tivoli Data Protection.
- AFS/DFS Support.
|
- spacemgr.lic
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Space Manager.
- mgsyslan.lic
- To license Managed System for LAN. TSM requires this license for
each managed system that moves data to and from storage over a local area
network (LAN). TSM does not require this license if the managed system
also needs the Managed System for SAN.
- mgsyssan.lic
- To license Managed System for SAN. TSM requires this license for
each managed system that moves data to and from storage over a storage area
network (SAN). The Tape Library Sharing feature is required on the TSM
server.
- oracle.lic
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for
Oracle.
- mssql.lic
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for MS SQL
Server.
- msexch.lic
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for MS
Exchange.
- lnotes.lic
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus
Notes.
- domino.lic
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus
Domino.
- informix.lic
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for
Informix.
- r3.lic
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for
R/3.
- ess.lic
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for
ESS.
- essr3.lic
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for ESS
R/3.
- emcsymm.lic
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for EMC
Symmetrix.
- emcsymr3.lic
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for EMC
Symmetrix R/3.
- library.lic
- To license Managed Library. TSM requires this license for each
library in the Extended Device Category that is managed by a TSM
server.
- libshare.lic
- To license the Tape Library Sharing feature. This is required on a
TSM server that can access a shared library, including the library
manager. The Managed Library license is only needed on the library
manager.
- afsdfs.lic
- To license AFS/DFS Support. This is required for each managed
system that moves data using the AIX AFS/DFS client.
- drm.lic
- Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager (this includes server-to-server virtual
volumes for database and storage pool backup). TSM requires this
license on a source server and not on a target server.
You can register one or more of these features. For example, if you
wanted to use the Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager and two Tivoli Space
Manager (HSM clients), issue the following commands:
register license file(drm.lic)
register license file(spacemgr.lic) number=2
register license file(mgsyslan.lic) number=2
To register 20 managed systems that move data over a local area network,
issue the following command:
register license file(mgsyslan.lic) number=20
To register 10 Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus Notes clients that move
data over a LAN, issue the following commands:
register license file(lnotes.lic) number=10
register license file(mgsyslan.lic) number=10
You can also register a license by specifying the product password that is
included in the license certificate file. For example:
register license 5s3qydpnwx7njdxnafksqas4
Attention: TSM licenses are associated with the CPU chip of
the machine on which TSM is installed. If you change that CPU chip, you
must first erase the existing nodelock files and then reregister all your
licenses.
Save the CD-ROM containing your enrollment certificate files if you need to
register your licenses again for any of the following reasons:
- The server is corrupted.
- The server is moved to a different machine.
- The NODELOCK file is destroyed or corrupted. TSM stores license
information in the NODELOCK file, which is located in the directory from which
the server is started.
An administrator can monitor license compliance by:
- Auditing licenses
- Use the AUDIT LICENSES command to compare the current configuration with
the current licenses.
Note: | During a license audit, the server calculates, by node, the amount of backup,
archive, and space management storage in use. This calculation can take
a great deal of CPU time and can stall other server activity.
Use the NOAUDITSTORAGE server option to specify that storage is not to be
calculated as part of a license audit.
|
- Displaying license information
- Use the QUERY LICENSE command to display details of your current licenses
and determine licensing compliance.
- Scheduling automatic license audits
- Use the SET LICENSEAUDITPERIOD command to specify the number of days
between automatic audits.
